Digital forensics for litigation and corporate investigations

Evidence is not found. It is preserved, or it is lost.

A phone syncs overnight. Logs rotate. IT reimages the laptop before anyone thinks to ask. By the time a matter is filed, the record that would have answered the question is frequently gone already, and no amount of skill recovers what has been overwritten.

What survives is a matter of procedure. Devices are acquired write-blocked, so nothing on the original changes. Every image is hash-verified at acquisition and again at delivery, so the copy can be proven identical to the source. Custody is signed at the moment of handoff rather than reconstructed afterward, so the signature and the event share one clock. Each device is treated as its own record, and a finding from one is never carried to another.

The work is performed by certified examiners and documented so that another examiner, working independently from the same source, would reach the same result. That is the standard the rules of evidence rest on, and it is what separates a finding that holds from one that merely sounds right.

Reports state what the evidence supports, and say plainly where it stops.
